Work is underway to create a “Greenprint” for Alston Moor – a shared vision for making it a green and sustainable area, with practical actions and solutions to making it happen which can be linked to green business and tourism marketing, community owned renewable energy, transport, employment and training opportunities, supporting our health services and social care units, education and the challenges of living in the high altitude, windswept, traditional build, hard to heat and insulate stone homes that many of us live in”.

The Greenprint is being led by Cumbria Action for Sustainability (CAfS) thanks to funding from the Esmée Fairbairn Foundation. It goes hand in hand with and will form part of the new Community Plan being developed by the Alston Moor Partnership with the aim to embed sustainable policy into future neighbourhood planning.
